What is The Wheel of Life Assessment?

Draw a circle divided into 8 segments representing life areas: health, career, finances, relationships, fun, personal growth, physical environment, and family. Rate satisfaction 1-10 in each and shade accordingly. A visual snapshot revealing which areas of your life are round (balanced) and which are flat.

How do you do The Wheel of Life Assessment?

  1. 1.Draw a circle and divide it into 8 equal segments (like a pizza). Label each: Health, Career/Work, Finances, Love/Romance, Fun/Recreation, Personal Growth, Physical Environment, Friends/Family
  2. 2.For each segment, rate your current satisfaction 1-10. 1 is at the center (terrible), 10 is at the outer edge (amazing). Mark your rating point
  3. 3.Connect the dots. The resulting shape shows your 'wheel of life.' A perfect circle (all 10s) would roll smoothly. Your bumpy, uneven shape shows where your life is 'flat'
  4. 4.Focus on the flattest areas first: what would move a 3 to a 5? Often it's something simple and specific that you've been avoiding
  5. 5.Redo this monthly. Watch the shape change over time. The goal isn't all 10s (that's impossible) — it's a wheel round enough to actually roll forward. A 6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6 is better than a 10-10-2-2-10-10-2-2

How long does it take?

15 minutes for the assessment.

Is it hard to start?

easy.
